Best Bears Bets for Week 8: Continue to Invest in Williams Legs
Betting the Receivers
The awesome quad of DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, Rome Odunze, and Cole Kmet has been fantastic to watch and very difficult to bet. Draft Kings is offering +100 at 60+ yards for Moore, +115 at 50+ yards for Allen, +105 at 40+ yards for Kmet, and +130 at 40+ yards for Odunze.
In the last three weeks, Moore has only eclipsed 60 yards once (under 25 in the other two games), Allen has not eclipsed 50 yards, Kmet has eclipsed 40 yards twice (and the other game was 35), Odunze has hit exactly 40 yards twice. If it wasn't about money, I would think Moore is due for a breakout game.
I was banging the Swift receiving drum the first three games when the Bears refused to throw to him (like Philadelphia last year) and someone heard me. Swift has been over 25 yards in each of the last three games and has caught 100 percent of his targets in each of the last three games.
Pick: Cole Kmet, 40+ yards at +130 and D'Andre Swift, 25+ yards at +140.
